Was this a first time offense? What do you do to get suspended for two games?Comment

He pled no contest to operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system. I'm guessing that's worse than simple possession or testing positive.I can't run no more

Well appeal it and get it to one game.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

He said he accepts the suspension. Doesn't sound like he's planning to appeal.I can't run no more

The NFL is judge,jury, and executioner. Appealing does nothing, Goodell is on a powertrip. But who's going to end it?Comment

If he did it he should be suspended.
Love Ruts post. Players appeal and win all the time.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

This is unfortunate, but it won't harm the Packers much. They are extremely deep at RB; It's only 2 games; And Jones at least seems contrite and hopefully will end up a better player for the whole incident.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

its at least refreshing to finally see a player own it

Jamaal Williams is probably slipping Jones all kinds of spliffs."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I like his response. He's a good guy. Maybe Ripkowski will actually get a few carries this season.Comment

Hi wasn't cited for possession. It was driving under the influence.Originally posted by red View Post

He just needs to stop being a user. Even if he only uses at home, he can still fail a random drug test. Of all the Packers RB's, I think he has the best chance to emerge as a feature back. He has vision and explosiveness. I like the fact he's not appealing. Put it behind you and move on. His parents were both Army Sergeant Majors. They'll straighten him out, if they haven't already.Jones, the team's second-leading rusher last season, was cited on Oct. 1, when he was stopped for speeding on Highway 172 in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin. A police officer smelled marijuana and said Jones' eyes were red and bloodshot. Jones said he told the officer that he had smoked marijuana that morning. No drugs were found in Jones' possession. Police administered a sobriety test and then took Jones to a local hospital for a blood test.
Interesting story about his family and upbringing. https://www.packers.com/news/family-...ccess-19652849I can't run no more
